About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a gritty, mid-’90s survival action ride with a corporate-prison angle and warring camps, somewhat in the vein of The Running Man; Not for you if you need nonstop pace or subtle drama.
Pros: strong survival premise; ruthless rival factions; some memorable stunts | Cons: familiar story beats; uneven tension; can feel overlong
